You went on a rampage with the drill didn't ya?

I was just wondering whether the 8 holes below the coast-to-coast is for return (I don't know anything about close loop so please don't mind my ignorance

)? If so, won't the water drain till the lowest holes in case of power failure?

Didn't replace the front starphire, I actually polished out the scratches.

Tagging along on this one buddy, My question is:
Although you have tons of room, why did you decide to go with the internal overflow over an external one ?

Can't wait to see the closed loop setup

Have you thought about a closed loop for this tank?
